Mr Cunningham said: “He feels extremely strongly that this is an attempt by Ms Camarata basically to annex him as part of her commercial empire.” My client’s fear is that if the declarations sought are made, it hands to Ms Camarata – and let’s be straight – complete control over his interest and legacy as regards the Sex Pistols.” “We are here to have a fight started by the claimants,” said Mark Cunningham QC, counsel for Lydon. Lydon claims that any decision must be unanimous, and individual members have the right of veto. Jones and Cook argue that a 1988 legal agreement allows licences to be granted if the majority of band members agree.

Lydon is defending a legal action brought by Jones, the band’s guitarist, and Cook, the drummer, after he refused to allow songs from the band’s back catalogue to be included in Pistol, a forthcoming TV series directed by Danny Boyle and based on Jones’s memoir, Lonely Boy: Tales From A Sex Pistol. On the first day of their London hearing, the court heard that Lydon believes the pair, guided by their manager Anita Camarata, have a “sinister” plan to take control of the Sex Pistols’ legacy. The man otherwise known as Johnny Rotten is embroiled in a court battle with his former Sex Pistols band mates, Steve Jones and Paul Cook. And, as the High Court heard on Thursday: “An infuriated Mr Lydon is not something to be taken lightly.” John Lydon considers himself to be in an “infuriating” legal bind.
